A free verse, metaphorical poem exploring music and the mastery of silence.
In musical composition,
pauses
prove as key to phrasing as strings of notes
Intermittent hush is essential for
assisting melody’s cadenced flow.
Stillness prompts and probes
reflections
that conjure the commentaries
of notes.
A life of activity
devoid of introspective contemplation
becomes a chaotic orchestra
no one wishes to hear.
A life
punctuated
by peaceful insight
becomes a magnum opus
accentuating the genius of stillness
though harmonic refrain.
When a Master speaks,
hearts listen.
